Product Description

From AudioFile

In a refreshing recorded seminar, the revered Buddhist nun explains the core teachings of an ancient text--Shantiveda's THE WAY OF THE BODHISATTVA. Chodron answers heartfelt questions, largely from people trying to reconcile their individual conflicts with addressing the needs of others. Rather than sounding otherworldly, her peaceful tone and relaxed grasp of Buddhist teachings are inviting and familiar. Laughing frequently and feeling at home in front of a large audience, she speaks a language that listeners everywhere will appreciate. Almost thrilling in their simplicity and generosity, the segments of Shantiveda's text that she and others read to the audience teach the disciplines of calming one's mind and making sacrifices to serve others.

5.0 out of 5 stars holding nothing back, Jan 10 2007

By Annie Talve - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Bodhisattva Mind: Teachings to Cultivate Courage and Awareness in the Midst of Suffering (Audio CD)

Provocative, witty, wise and compassionate - Pema Chodrun is a delight to listen to. In this series she decodes Shanti Deva's classic Buddhist text from its eight century origins and numerous translations into contemporary language. As always, she is accessible and insightful, holding nothing of herself back. She has a gift of articulating the movements and proclivities of the Western mind in a way that makes us cringe with recognition and laugh at our endless self absorption.

I live in Australia so it is unlikely that i will ever see her in action. This CD series is a wonderful substitute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pema Rocks, Jan 9 2007

This review is from: Bodhisattva Mind: Teachings to Cultivate Courage and Awareness in the Midst of Suffering (Audio CD)

Yes, I realize that saying Pema rocks may seem irreverent, but Pema Chodrin makes eastern philosophy accessible to the western mind. And, she has a sense of humor! I listen to her each night before I go to sleep and learn another gem each time. Her approach to spirituality is one of great acceptance, compassion and non-judgment - certainly things the world could stand to embrace.

I listen to this (and other Pema CDs) driving to and from work. I laugh, I cry and best of all I'm learning to be a better person. I "ditto" another person when I say...Pema Rocks!
